As companies grow they look to leverage their infrastructure and management. One way is to acquire another company. I have helped clients both to buy and sell home shopping companies and that experience can be very useful in helping you make the right decisions. Typically I can advise on the following issues:

Why acquire?

Developing a screen for targets

A target list

Making approaches to the targets

Deciding how much to pay

Due diligence

Integration

Consultancy fees will usually be charged on a time basis plus a success fee.
